  • DedicatedTo my wife, daughter and dog,

    who have provided me with the happiest times in my life.

    And, in memory of my Cousin Ruth, who always squeezed joy from life.

    B. Z.

  • Dear reader,I wrote this book during the harsh days of winter when I thought that spring would never come. I wanted to think about all the things in life that give me joy, and chose the hummingbird as my symbol for this book because that creature is so exquisite and pleasurable to observe.

    Hummingbird Joy is intended as a memory book for you to remember and write about all the things that have made you happy throughout your life and to savor these special thoughts. It is to become your own treasure chest of personal wonders filled with your written recollections. As you turn the pages, you will be encouraged to remember and write about your happy memories. This book, which you have down-loaded from your computer, is presented in the form of an interactive digital journal. When you open the book, go to the menu on top of your computer screen and click on View Page Display Two-Up Continuous. This allows you to see a two page spread at one time.

    Let me search deep within me to find my joy.

    Then type directly on your screen into the areas with lines on each of the books pages. When you are done typing, simply save the docu-ment until the next time you are inspired to make new entries. All the pages are meant to help you tap into your innate creativity just the way you did as a child when you opened a fresh box of cray-ons and saw a world of unlimited possibilities awaiting you.

    The book features a variety of writing prompts to spur you to writing. Some, for example, appear on the Reflect in Tranquility pages these prompts will elicit memories of many of the things that have given you joy. Write as few or as many words as you need to describe that happy moment.

    On facing pages I share with you some of the happy moments that I am grateful for in my own life and want to recall. Perhaps they will trigger your own memories. I call these Grateful Am I pages because with the passing of time, I have learned to not take joy for granted and to be thankful for whatever happiness has come my way. On the bottom of each of these pages is a prompt that asks you to ex-press what you are grateful for in your life. Scattered throughout, too, are Imagine pages they will provide safe spaces for you to write or think about.

    Each of us, no matter how difficult our path has been, has had moments of joy and ecstasy.

  • Hummingbird Joy 3

    Each of us, no matter how difficult our path has been, has had moments of joy and ecstasy.

    Before you begin this book, though, I have a favor to ask you: think about the joys you have experienced over the years in your own life. Each of us, no matter how difficult our path has been, has had mo-ments of joy and ecstasy.

    Was it the time when you were with someone who made you laugh and giggle?Was it the joyous moments you shared with a childhood pet?Maybe it was a wonderful sight you once saw. Maybe it was tasting food specially prepared for you.How about when you experienced some great accomplishment, like learning to swim or ride a bike or roller skate?Maybe it was the time someone you loved read a favorite book to you or told you a story that amazed you or made you use your imagination in a way you had never done so before.Perhaps it was the joy of a new adventure or taking a trip where you explored a strange land or country.Perhaps it was the time you discovered a book that opened up a whole new world to you and introduced you to new people whom you had never before encountered.

  • Maybe it was the joy of experiencing your first circus or encoun- tering a new animal at the zoo.I know that for me my happiest moment was when my I saw my daughter born and held her in my arms.

    In creating the question prompts for this book, I began to relive the joys of my life, as I hope you will when you write your responses. From this experience I began to realize that joy is always there if only I take the time to look carefully and remember the good moments. When you write in this book, try to do so at quiet times. If you can, light a scented candle, or surround yourself with some photographs or me-mentos you have gathered to help you remember happy experiences. Touch a sea shell or pebble you collected, play some soft music to relax, take some quiet, deep breaths. Then, begin writing to create your own inspirational book of joy that affirms all that is good in your life. Yours sincerely,

    Bill Zimmerman

    Something I would like to see go on

    forever and ever:

  • Be Joyful

    Hummingbird Joy 137

  • Be Like Jimmy Durante

    There used to be a wonderful comedian named Jimmy Durante whom Id watch on television when I was a boy. Just to see him made me smile and feel happy, he had so much love and fun in him. He often would start off his act by singing, Youve got to start off each day with a song. Its funny, but when I was little the words barely made an impression on me it was just his spirit and energy I loved. He made me lose my cares. But now, years later, I understand what he meant. Yes, weve got to start off each day with a song if we want the day to be good for us. Otherwise, to mope or be grumpy will mean we lose the blessedness of the new day. Remember Jimmys words, my friend.

    Keeping a Joy List

    I once read about a man who

    carried around with him a little

    notebook which he called a Joy List. In it

    he would jot down all the moments that made him

    smile or laugh. It was his way of cultivating a sense of happiness about being alive and enjoying his life. He learned to do this from a 13 year-old boy who was dy-ing of lymphoma and who handed him a list of more than 100 memories of the happy moments in his life, like camping or going to Disney World. The boy asked the man to give it to his parents when he died because he wanted his parents to remember that their son had fun moments, too, in his short life.My own beloved cousin over the years kept a list of all the good things which she wanted to see go on forever

  • What are at least two things that have given you joy in your life recently?

    (write here)

    1.

    2.

    Hummingbird Joy 141

    and ever. Think of these ideas, and consider keep-ing your own list of the things that give you joy in life and which you would like to see go on for all eternity. Write some words when something really good hap-pens in your life from seeing a hummingbird to remembering a funny joke a friend told you. Doing so makes you more aware of the wonderful things we experience daily but which we sometimes take for granted because too often we may sleepwalk through life. Doesnt it comfort you to think of having a joy list in your pocket which you can refer to when youre feeling stressed? Try it!

    Recognizing Beauty

    Dear friend,

    When youre out in the world today, in your car or riding on a bus, take a moment to look for something beautiful whether its a flower, a color that flashes by, or a sweet expression on the face of someone you see in the street. Always look for something beautiful, even on rainy days its there if you look carefully.

  • Whats the most beautiful thing youve ever seen?

    (write here)

    Hummingbird Joy 143

  • Take Time to Rejoice

    Some people believe that when we die, our spirit keeps living and takes the form of another being or creature, that our life is endless. I would hope so, but I am not sure about this. That is why I feel we must enjoy our present life as fully as possible and appreciate every moment that is given to us. Despite all its pains, life should be a time of rejoicing, of sing-ing and dancing and filled with good food and love. We have been given a great gift to enjoy.

  • A New Day of Life

    There is a wonderful movie in which an old man wakes up in the morning and says, Thank you for a new day of life, Lord. You see, he felt blessed

    to see another new day. He was old enough to have learned that nothing is forever and it is best to appreci-ate what one is given daily the sun that rises, the

    roosters which crow, the food to be eaten, the love each of us experiences from others. Every new day became sacred for this man and he would awake as if reborn.

  • A Box of Wonder

    When I was a boy I had a box of wonder. It was a small, white cardboard box with a cotton layer on the bottom which had once held some costume jewelry given to my mother one Christmas. Into this box I would place little treasures I found a birds feather plucked from my fathers fedora, a rhinestone that had fallen out of my mothers pin, a cufflink that belonged to my dad, a white pebble I had found at the beach, a very tiny baby doll that I had bought at the Five and Ten-Cent store. Time and again I would open this box to gaze at these and other wonderful finds. They made me feel happy and safe. Why not consider putting together your own box of wonder to contain all the little objects that you dis-cover in the world and which give you joy? This little box can become a welcoming place for you to turn to when you want to find some comfort.
